The hunt is on for Theo Silverton’s killer in Coronation Street, and Christina Boyd (Amy Robbins) has been acting incredibly shifty.
She’s already been questioned by police more than once, and tonight Christina took a suspicious phone call that had us raising our eyebrows.
Christina is one of several Weatherfield residents under suspicion in Theo’s murder, and earlier this week, a lead in the case brought Lisa Connor-Swain (Vicky Myers) to her door.
In her initial statement, Christina had outlined her whereabouts on the night of Theo’s murder, explaining that she had picked Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) up at one point in the evening.
However, traffic cameras contradicted this, placing her at a petrol station elsewhere.
Always thorough, Lisa was keen to iron out the discrepancies, and Christina amended her statement, later assuring George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) that she had simply misremembered.
However, it seems that there may be more to it than that, as during the same conversation, Christina put pressure on George to tell the police that he knew Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) was lying about her whereabouts on the night of the murder.
Summer has also come under scrutiny this week, and faced intense interrogation after Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) realised she had been wearing the brooch they found in Theo’s flat earlier that evening.
To make matters worse, Christina and George had read through her diary, where she’d detailed her hatred towards Theo and the violent revenge she was keen to get on him.
In tonight’s episode, Christina continued to act shifty as she spoke to someone on the phone, trying very hard not to be overheard.
She asked the other person for help, and pointed out that she knew she was asking for a lot, but that it was just until she sorted out the ‘mess’ she was currently in.
But what mess is she talking about? Does she know more about Theo’s death than she’s let on?
Though she persuaded George to tell the truth about Summer to get the police off his back, could she have had an ulterior motive?
